Washington, January 10 – As protests against Iran’s Khamenei regime enter their second week, turning increasingly fierce, US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning. Speaking from the White House, Trump declared that America is watching closely and will not tolerate a brutal suppression of the demonstrators.
Trump laid out a clear ultimatum: any escalation of violence against civilians will provoke a strong US response. ‘Iran is in big trouble,’ he told reporters. ‘People are taking over cities – something no one thought possible just weeks ago.’ He emphasized that his administration has directly cautioned Tehran against killing protesters.
The President’s words carried weight, hinting at potential action without boots on the ground. ‘If they start killing people like before, we’ll step in – hitting them where it hurts the most,’ Trump stated firmly. He made it clear that this wouldn’t involve sending troops but rather precise measures to inflict maximum damage on the regime.
Trump described the unrest as a pivotal moment for Iran’s leadership, born from years of oppression. He contrasted his approach with that of former President Barack Obama, whom he accused of standing idly by during past Iranian uprisings. ‘Obama backed off completely, but this is extraordinary,’ Trump said.
While declining to detail exact responses, Trump reiterated the focus on preventing mass casualties. He dismissed ideas of large-scale military intervention, insisting such steps likely won’t be necessary. The administration remains vigilant, monitoring developments with keen interest. This bold stance underscores Trump’s commitment to supporting those challenging authoritarian rule in Iran.
